The
Thames Vintage Boat Club's own resources
Engines and Engine Manuals for owners of Traditional Boats "Is there an old boat engine lurking unloved and unused in the corner
of your life? Don't let things get to the point where you are obliged to
dump it, there is a way of finding it a good home. We run a service which puts those seeking a
traditional engine in touch with those who wish to get rid of one. We store engines which we are given, and list on our website those for
which the owner would like some money. The TVBC gets a donation from us on a direct sale, and we ask the seller
to make a donation on an indirect sale. At the moment we are not seeing many "new" engines coming onto the
website, but we know they are out there, very probably taking up space which could be useful for something else. BMC diesels: am I the last person to know that you can buy brand new
BMC diesels, 1.5 and 1.8s, with gearbox, made in India and Turkey respectively? I was speaking at the RNLI rally at Kingston to a man who
has installed several, and could put interested parties in touch. Our collection of engine manuals is growing, and we have both parts and overhaul manuals for most of the Morris Navigator variants as well as the Vedette, P3, R3, P5, P6 and P55 Stuart Turner engines, and many others. Would you let us have some information? Could you run us off a photocopy of any manuals you may have for any older engines not listed above? We are happy to pay for the copying and they could help other boating nuts in the future Please
note that we are not a separate commercial concern and that the club members own the information. Contact Guy Cook on (Email) guycook@thamesengines.co.uk or (Phone) 07855 942119 PLEASE HELP ME ADD TO THIS PAGE BY SUBMITTING ANYTHING YOU THINK MIGHT BE USEFUL. JUST EMAIL IT TO ME. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A MEMBER, BUT THE ITEM MUST BE IN THE UK. THANKYOU. - THE WEBMASTER |
